Rachel’s Travels

It’s been planned for quite a long time but suddenly the trip is just 2 weeks away.

The temperatures look a little cooler than anticipated and I’m starting to think about practicalities such as clothes, packing, money etc. I’m having my group round for drinks next weekend so hopefully we can all share our top tips and plans!

Update

We had a great afternoon talking and sharing ideas and plans. This is the special packing list:

[ ] Swimsuit
[ ] Dark socks
[ ] Melatonin
[ ] Currency? Ask karma
[ ] Eating timings for Bhutanese?
[ ] Body cream and lip salve
[ ] Bar shampoo, bar soap bar conditioner
[ ] Kleenex
[ ] Adapter (plug)
[ ] Rehydration salts , amoxicillin
[ ] Coffee
[ ] Cup
[ ] Flashlight, head torch
[ ] First aid
[ ] Sim/roaming
[ ] Long sleeved t shirt
[ ] Gloves hat scarf
[ ] Ear plugs
[ ] Long pjs
[ ] Snacks

Collared shirt and deet spray were added after a friend returned and reported that these would be useful.

This is all in addition to warm t shirts, layers, trekking type trousers and jeans, hiking boots, warm socks and underwear.

I’m taking nuts as a snack and truffle crisps for everyone else. Also a bottle of bubbly. And a mini bottle of cordial concentrate.

My packing cubes are going to be so useful again.

We are actually leaving tomorrow!
